To be fair to the Russians not all their complaints are totally out of order. Yes they are complaining that their athletes failed the haemoglobin test thing for which they deserve to be smacked but what they're most pissed off at is that they were told about the results so close to the relay event that they couldn't get the reserves there in time and the whole team (who were almost dead certs for the gold) had to pull out, which was a piece of bad organization if you ask me (which you didn't). I feel so sorry for the two who didn't fail the test, especially if it turns out later the failures didn't do anything wrong. I mean missing out on a medal because you were accused of doing something you didn't is one thing, but missing out because someone else was accused of doing something they didn't would be so awful.
I bet the hockey team are pleased though, hang on our skaters and skiers missed out on gold, so you're not going to let us try and win one? Piss off a group of guys with body armour and big sticks, not the best plan!

  My goodness!  So much whining, crying, complaining and protesting!

  The Russians are threatening to boycott the hockey game tonight.  
  They are mad that one of their athletes got caught with a high 
  homoglobin, that they drew some hockey penalty, and that their pairs 
  voting block disintegrated because the French Judge forgot to take 
  her meds. Waaahhhh!
